Lawyers Ibrahim Bilmes, Radia Ozturk, Omran Amekci, and Cengiz Yurkali submitted a request to the Office of the Republican Public Prosecutor in Bursa and the Penalties Execution Institution in Imrali Prison in order to meet with their client Abdullah Ocalan, about whom no information has been received for more than two years, and the other detainees Omar Khairy Konar, Hamili Yıldırım and Vesi Aktaş.

The leader has been detained in Imrali prison since 1999, and is subjected to strict isolation for more than two years.

Leader lawyers submit two requests every week in order to meet with him, but their requests are not deliberately and systematically answered, and sometimes the lawyers' requests are rejected after months under the pretext of imposing a "disciplinary penalty" on the leader Ocalan.

On May 31, the Turkish occupation authorities took a new ban against the leader Abdullah Ocalan for another 6 months.
